Death of Mrs. Mary D. Dunlap.

Yesterday afternoon, in this city, al 1:2O
o'clock, Mrs. Mary D. Dunlap passed away,
after an illness of several weeks.

sentative of two historical families of that

She was the grand daughter of James
Harris, colonel in the revolutionary war,
firm patriot, and one of the trainers and
signers of the Mecklenberg declare ton OF
independence, and on her mothers side,
the great granddaughter of Colonel
Adam Alexander, a soldier of the revolu-
ton, well known as one of the leading
spirits of the Mecklenberg convention OF
1775, and also one of the signers of the
famous declaration. Of her three brothers
and three sisters all are now dead. Mrs.
Dunlap was twice married. first to DR.. A. W
Alexander, of Mecklenberg county, MO.
and after his death to DR.. G. W. Dunlap
of Lancaster, S. O., with whom she moved

Death of Mr.. George Jones.

In connection with the death of Mr.
George Jones, nephew of Hon. Wash
Jones, aud latterly employed as mail
agent on the Central road between here
and Hampstead, the report that he com
mitted suicide, near Bastrop, by taking
an overdose of choral, is not credited by
his friends in this city. On the CONTRARY,
it is rumored that his death was the re-
suit of error in a drHggist in filling a
prescription. The truth will probably be
communicated by further advices from
Bastrop. Mr.. Jones was formerly en-
plOyed here in the state land Office, and
was known to be young man of generally
favorable habits.

Arm Broken.

Mr.. John McCarty, day engineer at the
water works, sustained severe accident
yesterday evening, by having his arm
broken above his elbow, tho fracture OK
tending down aud breaking the elbow.
Drs. j. W. and Frank Mclaughlin were
summoned, and dressed the injury. They
express hope of saving the arm, but
think that it will always be stiff. The ac-
cident was caused perhaps as much by
Mr.. McCarty's own carelessness as any
thing else. He was caught between the
brake and cross head of the pumping en-
CINE, at the water end of the cylinder, he
having thrown his arm around, thoughtless
of where he was standing. At q late hour
last night he was resting easily.
